Well, as planned, I recorded Buffy the other day. I made sure to record an episode from UPN so that I'd get the current season (as opposed to syndication).
I recall that the episode was “After Life”. And, near as I could tell, Buffy had been buried in a cemetary, cast to hell, but then somehow she returned to Earth. And, she then gets back with her regular pals. It's been 147 days since she left, so she's a bit out of it and she doesn't talk much. Err, and some demon “hitchhiked” with Buffy when she returned from hell. So, there’s this bad-CG demon running around the place, and through walls and such.
Confused? Yeah, so was I. I felt like I needed a Buffy-HOWTO. I made it through 37 minutes of the episode, but couldn’t get much further. But, I haven't given up on the series yet. Maybe it was a “bad episode for Buffy-beginners” or something. So, if someone can recommend a good starter-episode to look out for, I’m all ears.
Do you have cable? FX has the syndicated Buffy episodes and they just started the whole series again with #1 the other night.
And if you ~really~ want to pace yourself, I have the entire first season on DVD.
I happened to like this episode, and I have the first 6 seasons on DVD, so im wondering how old this post is… and how late I am to post to it. But only one thing of that episode doesnt make much since is the fact she was in heaven and not in hell, but the daemon was from hell. Or it was really mad because it was yanked out from heaven, and whenever i type the word heaven i think of the episode “Once again, with feeling” I loved the musical episode, it was really good, and better than I thought since most musicals from other shows usually isnt all that great, but this one was. Anyway, this episode would be a great episode to start on, but not as much so as the very first episode of the series.
